Epson Stylus Color 1160 - Parallel Interface (Reserve Channel)

EPSON Stylus COLOR 860/1160 Revision C
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION INTERFACE 16
1.3.2 Parallel Interface (Reserve Channel)
Transmission Mode: IEEE-1284 nibble mode
Adaptable Connector See forward channel.
Synchronization: Refer to the IEEE-1284 specification
Handshaking: Refer to the IEEE-1284 specification
Data Trans. Timing: Refer to the IEEE-1284 specification
Signal Level: IEEE-1284 level 1 device
See forward channel.
Extensibility Request:
The printer responds affirmatively when the extensibility request values are
00H or 04H, which means,
00H: Request Nibble Mode Reverse Channel Transfer.
04H: Request Device ID;
Return Data Using Nibble Mode Rev Channel Transfer.

In/Out Functional Description
1 HostClk 19 In Host clock signal.
2 DATA0 20 In
The DATA0 through DATA7 signals
represent data bits 0 to 7,
respectively.
Each signal is at high level when data
is logical 1 and low level when data is
logical 0.
These signals are used to transfer
the 1284 extensibility request values
to the printer.
